This web application visualizes how successful universities or research-focused institutions collaborate. The application is based on papers (articles, reviews and conference papers) published between 2012 and 2016 in several subject areas and in “All areas”. For each subject area (and for “All areas”), those institutions (universities and research-focused institutions worldwide) were selected in the SCImago Institutions Ranking which published at least 500 papers in the publication period. We refer to these institutions as "reference institutions". For every reference institution, the collaborating institutions were identified. Collaborating institutions are those which have co-authored at least ten publications with the respective reference institution. We refer to the collaborating institutions as “network institutions”. We estimated statistical models (Bayesian multilevel logistic regressions). The statistically estimated best paper rates (from the models) which the reference institutions have achieved with its network institutions are visualized. The best paper rate gives the proportion of highly cited papers from an institution and is considered generally as a robust indicator for measuring citation impact. Co-authorship networks (based on institutional affiliations) show how successfully overall an institution (reference institution) has collaborated compared to all the other institutions, and with which other institutions (network institutions) an institution has collaborated best.
Drawing from across cultures and across scholarly disciplines, Places & Spaces: Mapping Science demonstrates the power of maps to address vital questions about the contours and content of human knowledge. An interdisciplinary and international advisory board chose each one of the works in the Places & Spaces: Mapping Science exhibit as an outstanding example of how visualization can bring patterns in scientific data into focus. The exhibit is curated by the Cyberinfrastructure for Network Science Center at Indiana University. The exhibit has been on display at over 382 venues in 28 countries on 6 continents. It showcases the work of 248 mapmakers that hail from 17 different countries
une carte interactive des articles publiés dans la revue Nature depuis sa fondation en 1869. Créé par des membres actuels et anciens du laboratoire Barabási de la Northeastern University, le macroscope visualise l'historique des publications de la revue sous la forme d'un réseau d'influence. Chaque nœud représente un article publié, et deux nœuds d'articles sont connectés si un troisième article les référence tous les deux. Les nœuds sont codés en couleur par discipline scientifique, ce qui montre comment les travaux scientifiques répandent leur influence à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur de leur discipline. Cette analyse de réseau montre que les travaux scientifiques d'aujourd'hui s'appuient sur un éventail plus large que jamais de domaines scientifiques et ont un impact sur ceux-ci. En d'autres termes, la science est plus interdisciplinaire qu'elle ne l'était auparavant.
